Good morning, all.

Join us today for the final victory lap, the vote to "confirm Samuel Alito, of New Jersey, to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court."

It's all over except the final vote tally.

Lots of surprises yesterday at the HUGE vote to impose cloture, so perhaps there are still some surprise votes to come?

One last reprise:

Castin' a nay today in Samalitoville
Seeking ways to make his nomination halt
Some folks maintain the Dems have gone quite insane
But I know --- this is all Bush's fault!

"or that parent who's seeing the pollution that's taken place in a pond -- in a lake

Hes a good one to talk about things in ponds and lakes.
"


An understatement!


If ignorance is bliss, these people [?] are happy campers.

Ten million years ago, ponds and lakes were "polluted" and unfit for consumption, by today's standards.


I drink Scotch and occasionally babble. Kenney's problem isn't drinking. He is a mental defective, that would have been incarcerated in a mental facility, as his sister was, had his father known what he would turn into.

Sam will be fine.

The people that will need body armor are those 'Rats on the Committee who decide to eat dinner at an Italian Restaurant in Trenton or South Philly.

Why does "johnensign.org" want to give me a cert every time I load this thread?

Good question. I'm getting the same thing.

Leahy playing the race card, using Scott Kings death against Alito!!!!
UNREAL!!

After the way the Dems have been acting .. especially that rant of Kennedy's yesterday ... are we really surprised

The Dems will continue to sink lower

I think that he [Hagel] just didn't want to go on record so ducked the vote.

He's clearly on the record in support of Alito. News report has him and Harkin traveling yesterday. Destination and purpose unknown, and not for sure they are traveling together either.

I hope Sam Alito wears body armor to the speech tonight! And I'm only half joking!

I hope he remains safe, too.

Please, please, please, I beg of you. Please do not post picks of Barbara Mikulski on FreeRepublic. Some things are better left unseen.

Ilove that "Cold Steele" line.

I'm investing in Steele (1) because I think he's great and (2) I want to see him standing beside the little fireplug Mikulski so she can be swallowed up in his shadow.

Got my bumper sticker and I'm ready to go...

I'm thinking now secession for Vermont would be a good thing.
